Overview
add-mnemon is an open-source productivity skill for Claude Code and compatible agents, published by nanocoai. Its author describes it as: “Add persistent graph-based memory via mnemon. Agents recall past context before responding and remember insights after each turn.”. The project has 31k stars on GitHub and is available under the MIT license. Add it to your setup with `git clone https://github.com/nanocoai/nanoclaw ~/.claude/skills/add-mnemon`.
What add-mnemon does
Installs mnemon in the agent container image. On each container start, `mnemon setup` registers Claude Code hooks that surface relevant memory before the agent responds and store new insights after each turn. Memory is written to the per-agent-group `.claude/` mount and survives container restarts.
